1. Enrollment Contract
11.1 Contract of Common Purpose: The parents or legal
guardians of the student enrolled will sign a contract with
the Oratory Schools, demonstrating that, as parents, they
are in agreement with:
11.1.1 the quot;Philosophy,quot; quot;Rationale,quot; and 'Declaration of
Joint Purpose of Parents and Oratory Schools,”
11.1.2 the rules and regulations for students,
11.1.3 the parental promises and commitments as stated
in the Oratory Schools handbook;
11.1.4 that the signing of this contract implies, moreover,
that these parents will, in fact, actively promote not only
the Oratory Schools’ vision and goals but also its chosen
means to achieve them.
11.2 Revocation: Experience has demonstrated, however,
that even though some parents may have signed such an
agreement and promise, a change in their thinking—for
whatever reason sometimes occurs. This produces within the
Oratory Schools family a very demoralizing tension
detrimental not only to the healthy instruction of the
parents' own child but also to the well being of the school.
Such lack of confidence in the school will be a sufficiently
serious reason to ask the displeased parents to withdraw
their child immediately from the Oratory Schools.
11.3 Semester Contract: All first-year parents or
guardians will, therefore, be placed on a semester-to-
semester contract until experience demonstrates that they
do indeed agree with the Oratory Schools’ vision and the
means chosen to fulfill it. After two semester contracts,
parents will be offered a yearly contract—the Oratory
Schools always reserving for itself the right not to renew

2. this contract for good cause as determined by the Director,
Rector or the Board of Governors.
11.4 Student Exchange Visitor Information System
(SEVIS): All foreign students are obligated to fulfill all
requirements for foreign nationals studying in the United
States. Contact the school administration for further
instructions.
